The stove was burning vigorously, slightly dispelling the darkness in the fort.
Beside the stove, many silver-helmeted soldiers gathered around the stove, trying to use the fire in the stove to dispel the chill on their bodies.
But they were obviously very close to the stove, but the chill on their bodies still chilled their hearts.
While warming themselves by the fire, they turned their heads to the side from time to time. Right in front of the observation entrance, stood a figure in gray robes.
He was obviously wearing very thin clothes, but he seemed to be able to ignore the cold air and kept scanning the strait outside.
"Master monk, come here to keep warm. It's only been a few days. Even if the enemy is coming, they won't come so quickly."
In normal times, this outpost is unmanned and in a state of neglect.
Many years ago, the Holy City wiped out the forces on the other side of the continent, and the population moved to the Holy City.
After that, the outposts on the coastline were abandoned, and as long as the outposts on the inland inner defense line were still in use, they served as the outer defense line of the Holy City.
Standing in front of the observation hole, listening to the words of the soldiers behind him, the monk's expression moved slightly, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked towards the sky in the distance.
In his pupils, a golden stream of light flashed past...
He turned around and said in a deep voice: "Send the signal immediately, the enemy is coming."
Hearing this, the soldiers looked stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly left the stove, hurriedly finding the signal bomb in the fort.
"call out……"
For more than ten seconds, with a "whoosh" sound, a red flare flew into the sky, exploded thousands of meters above the ground, and turned into a ball of fire.
In the direction of the inland, about ten seconds later, a red signal flare rose from the ground more than 20 kilometers away.
As signal bombs took off one after another, within a few minutes, the Holy City received news of the enemy's attack.
"Bang..."
In the headquarters of the Knights Templar, the door to Peggy's office was rudely pushed open.
A silver-armored soldier hurriedly walked in, half-knelt on the ground, and said: "Commander, a warning signal has been sent from the direction of the Dover Strait, the enemy is coming..."
Frowning slightly, Peggy's eyes flashed with surprise.
It seems that Black Flag City was well prepared, otherwise it would not have been able to launch an attack on the Holy City so quickly.
This is the main battlefield of the Holy City, and the enemy is really confident...
Without hesitation, Peggy waved his hand and said: "Inform all the knight captains, and the fleet will take off immediately to meet the enemy outside the Holy City."
"yes!"
In response, the silver-armored soldier stood up and left in a hurry.
For a moment, as Peki's order was issued, golden radiance lit up on the city walls surrounding the Holy City, where the knights were stationed.
"Quick, get on the boat and prepare to fight..."
Silver armor surged on the city wall, and soldiers boarded the large and small sailboats docked on the city wall.
As the monk's body radiated golden light, the golden sails of the spaceship opened flutteringly, and golden lines were spread all over the hull.
One after another, twenty-meter-long airships and seventy-meter-long three-sail spaceships took off and flew towards the sky south of the Holy City.
Looking from the ground to the sky, golden sailboats of all sizes are in a row, just like a sea of flying lanterns.
In less than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of spaceships flew away from the Holy City and lined up in the sky south of the Holy City, divided into five levels.
The length of the front line on each level is no less than five kilometers, and the distance between the upper and lower levels is no less than 100 meters.
More than a thousand airships surrounded each large spaceship. At a glance, the fleet formed a golden wall in the sky outside the city.
Looking towards the golden spaceship, the deck was filled with silver-armored soldiers. There were eight twin-linked heavy machine guns on both sides of the ship. Behind the ship's side, a large number of soldiers were waiting in full formation.
On the lower deck is the artillery deck, each with no less than eight cannons. Each cannon is made of copper with golden lines flashing on it. The style is like the artillery of the sail battleship era.
Behind each cannon are four soldiers in silver armor, responsible for adjusting the direction of the cannon, and a monk holding a wooden staff.
On the bow of the deck, there was a monk wearing a white monk's uniform. He looked up at the sky, with golden light shining in his pupils, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the clouds and mist.
Just as the golden fleet was waiting, in the sky about fifty kilometers south of the Holy City, among the clouds, a huge fleet was sailing.
Sitting in the captain's chair, Li Meng watched the radar capture the target on the central control screen in front of him.
267 large targets, 1371 small targets...
Seeing this, Li Meng knew that the fleet was exposed, otherwise the opponent's flying units would not take off with such fanfare and stand ready in front of the city.
"Stop moving forward, descend the altitude, and leave the extreme temperature layer..."
Since the other party has discovered the arrival of the fleet, it means that it has the ability to detect the fleet hiding in the extreme temperature layer, and there is no need to stay in the extreme temperature layer anymore.
Following Li Meng's order, the fleet flying in the clouds stopped advancing and slowly dropped in altitude.
Outside, as a burst of fire flickered in the clouds, warships sank from the clouds one after another, slowly lowering their altitude.
Less than fifty kilometers away, the two sides were already vaguely visible in the sky.
When there was no longer a hazy cloud outside the window, Li Meng saw a golden glow on the horizon in the distance.
In the dim sky and earth, the two sides looked at each other fifty kilometers apart.
Standing on the deck at the bow of the ship, Molin looked at the fleet flying out of the clouds in the distance, with a solemn expression on his face.
The strength of Black Flag City is indeed not weak. Looking at the number of steel ships in the sea, there are probably nearly a hundred.
With such a large number, Black Flag City would probably be outnumbered...
Thinking of this, a trace of doubt flashed in Molin's eyes.
The Black Flag City is coming with force. When did the Holy City and the Black Flag City have such a deep conflict? The Black Flag City launched an attack on the Holy City at all costs.
Is it because of the battleship that crashed a few days ago?
It is absolutely impossible to shoot down that battleship. The Holy City was defending itself, and Black Flag City was the intruder and the evil party.
Sitting on the captain's chair, Li Meng looked at the golden fleet in the distance with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The strength of the Holy City was beyond his imagination. Although he didn't know the strength of those large spaceships, they must be able to emit golden psychic beams.
They were facing the fleet from the side, which meant that the firepower of the large spaceships seemed to be concentrated on the sides. With so many large spacecrafts and so many small spacecrafts, the firepower might have surpassed the fleet in Black Flag City.
retreat?
The expression on his face was solemn, and Li Meng said in a deep voice: "Keep the current distance, release the Sky Eye fighter immediately, use the cover of the extreme temperature layer to rush into the opponent's fleet formation, the missile will immediately lock on the enemy fleet, once the Sky Eye fighter immediately,
